Here's a good pic of the diff and sub-frame. You could make a brace that's goes over the top of the diff, top 4 bolt holes. and bolt to the top of the sub-frame. That would really lock the diff into place. But you would have to drop the sub- frame to install it. Something many are not willing to do.


Chit, now I have an idea running loose inside my head. :shakes head:

Has your comment been “approved”? I only see one good review on Z1’s website.

Just checked. Hell NO!. I figured as much. :rofl2:

The diff brace is installed. :tup:

1st and 2nd pic's. This is the nut piece that goes in the sub-frame.

3rd pic is where it goes.

4th pic. Here's looking at the hole from where the spring bucket arm mounts to the sub-frame. The nut gets installed from this side.

Install the brace to the diff. Leave the bolts loose so that you can wiggle the brace a little to help getting the bolt started into the nut piece

1st pic, I put the nut piece on my wrench and put it inside the sub-frame, and put it into the hole.

2nd pic. The bolt is tighten down.

3rd pic. Tighten the bolts on the diff.

4th pic. Installing the sub-frame back into the Z. :tup:

Looks great! :driving:

:tiphat:

So Rusty, how long before you start making them for the rest of us with the FI exhaust? :rofl2:

Depends on the demand.

A tight fit; reminds me of a little work I did fitting a +38 offset 19x12 w/345/30’s on rear...with minimal negative camber. Traction arm’s had to be shaved a bit & different headed bolts :ugh2:

Z1 still hasn't posted my review of the brace. :rofl2:

They won’t

That's why I did'nt post a review of their metal 3 bolt gaskets. They should be appropriately named "fackyaself" gaskets. You go through all that heartache for a leak then as soon as you do a shakedown you have to do it again to replace the leaking fix for the leaks.

Whoa, that's good to know.

LOL, I think I have set of those worthless things too!:wtf2:
